But while we’re busy rearranging the deck chairs, why not toss Peter Braun overboard and open up a spot for someone, anyone else? We can install Braun as Village Idiot instead – yes, he’s unqualified, but we can make it an affirmative action hire.

Hmm – The Enchanted Forest version reads as though it were translated from English to Urdu and then back again, with a little coherency lost along the way. The Greenwich Time article is at least readable, if devoid of content, a fault I blame on the subject matter.
As an aside, while Fudrucker comes off as just a teensy bit obsessed over exposing the old fraud’s claim to nobility, Braun said this: “Americans are either associate or honorary knights,” von Braun said. “I figure if it’s good enough for Dwight Eisenhower, it’s good enough for me.”
I am unaware of any particular military service Braun contributed to his adopted country and so he doesn’t strike me as the equivalent of Eisenhower. In fact, he’s not even a Jack Kennedy. Dan Quayle, maybe, although Qualye doesn’t wear a phony crest dreamed up by a Taiwanese seamstress on his blazer’s tit.
(And whatever, whoever Braun is, he’s certainly no rocket scientist)

Our BOE continues to under whelm. I am chastened to read in the paper that we have moved from IB as the magic bullet for solving Student Achievement to a dedicated computer for every kid from Kindergarten to 12th grade.

No one can deny technology is a necessity, but to put all the education resources on digital devices is such a disservice to the kids. What about great teachers and Principals (pay them more, expect measurable results and accountability) curriculum redo—esp math (EveryDay) and science, and finally have dedicated technology mostly for middle/high schoolers.

Nope, they are spending their time yet again on leadership changes….Superintendent to BOE to Superintendent to BOE…..
